The Sixth Ward Union Debates the
subject OF Locating a Market
Eaouse.-SchOOIS Sites.
A bare quorum was present at the meet
Ing of the West ST. Paul union last night.
E. YarniSh from the legislative committee,
reported that the committee waited upon
Mayor Smith to secure the appointment of
a resident Of the Sixth ward on the board
of public works, but at that time the mayor
had already made his selections. The To-
cation of the proposed new market came
up for discussion. Two locations were
mentioned, one on StarkeY and the other
on Concord street. Mr.. y arniSh favored the
location of the market on the corner
of Congress and Ducas streets. as there it
would be more accessible than if located on
Starkey or Concord streets He thought
that it should be located on some street
along the proposed street car line. Mr.
Hawthorne. thought that any corner be-
tween Dakota avenue and DucaS street on
the east and west and Colorado street and
the base of the bluff on the north and south
would be accessible to every part of the
ward. F. Is. Doran offered resolution
that it be declared the sense of the
meeting that the market should
be located within these bounda-
reS. The motion was adopted;
$40. 900 was appropriated by the last legiS-
lature for market building in the Sixth
ward. Upon motion OF Mr.. Yarnish, the
vote by which the motion concerning the
location of the market was carried. will be
reconSidered at the next meeting of the
uniun. The committee on streets, roads
and parks was instructed to investigate and
report at the next meeting why the bridge
over the railroad tracks on South Robert
street had not been built, and also why the
gates had not been put in by the railroad
company on Fairfield avenue as ordered by
the city council.
SOUTH ST. PAUL SCHOOL SITES.
The city council OF the new town of
South ST. Paul met yesterday and selected
sites for two new school houses, one in the
First ward in the South Park addition. and
the other in the Fifth ward on the high
plateau. The council intende,' selecting
sites for five school houses, but postponed
the selection of the other three until the
next meeting. School buildings will be
constructed on the sites selected yesterday,
as SOON as feasible.
WHY Is IT FENCED IN?
There is a tract Of land toward the east
ern boundaries of West St Paul, embracing
between thirty and forty acres known as
the swamp lands, claimed by the state and
several railroads. Some time during Thurs
day gang of men, said to be railroad en-
ployeS. began work fencing in the tract. They
labored all day Yesterday and part of last
night. They refused to say whom they
were working for or to give any informa-
liyn in the matter whatsoever. 1t
was generally supposed by West
Siders that number Of roads
have taken this course in order to bring
the matter into the courts for final settle
ment. This move, in connection with the
fact that E. Langevn yesterday sold block
20. in Brooklynd addition to West ST. Paul
on State street. at the eastern terminus of
Fairfield avenue, to a corporation. led
some of the citizens of the West side to
revive the story that a passenger depot was
to be built there.
